RocketMAX takes the concept of high-speed ability and pushes it further, retaining all the qualities that make the Rocket a proven race weapon, while going bigger than ever. NOW APPROVED FOR 160mm FORKS.

MAX by name, Maximum versatility by nature, the RocketMAX can run either 29 inch wheels with tyres up to 2.5" wide, or the latest 275Plus sized wheels in 27.5 x 2.8" width.

275Plus wheels roll faster and offer more grip and security than regular 27.5" wheels, at the expense of slightly increased weight. A different kind of fun.

29" wheel compatibility offers you a huge range of tyre options, for every condition, and any purpose. You want fast? You've got fast. Any kind of fast you want.

In its 29er guise, the RocketMAX has proven speed. The Cotic Racing team took to multiple UK Gravity Enduro and PMBA Elite podiums on the prototypes, and also campaiged them in the Enduro World Series.

The RocketMAX uses our droplink suspension layout which really brings together the grace, durability, clean lines, fun and interactive feel we put into all our bikes.

Reynolds 853 delivers a fantastically robust and durable, long lasting front end, and our custom designed heat treated seat tube gives incredible stiffness at suspension pivots to give you the confidence you need when pushing on.

Steel is also used for the seatstays as its strength allows us to minimise the size of this part of the frame, maximising the ankle, heel and calf clearance. Custom ultra slim titanium droplink pivot hardware completes the picture.

The swingarm is 7000 series aluminium. It allows us to create the complex shaped CNC machined parts required to thread through the area between the tyre and chainrings, which gets as much structure as possible in the brace area for great stiffness at the back of the bike.

The details and latest trends are all covered: Boost148 bolt thru back end for maximum big wheel stiffness, taper steerer compatible head tube, ISCG05 mounts, sealed, capped and shielded pivots, right down to the precisely located hose routing, semi-internal gear routing plus internal and external routing for maximum dropper seatpost compatibility.

In short, it's a brilliant all round trail, all mountain or enduro bike. It has a fleet footed feel, smooth rolling, high traction climbing performance, allied to a swaggering, "let's do this" attitude when you're flying back down the other side of the hill. It feels just as happy whipping between the trees, smashing your best stage time, or flat out on an uplift day.

The RocketMAX is available worldwide as a frame with a choice of shock, or as a complete bike in UK and Europe.

In the UK and want to demo a RocketMAX? Get in touch with us via our Demo Page and we'll come to your local trails.

If you like the fast trail/enduro idea of the RocketMAX with the lighter, livelier ride of the smaller 27.5" wheels, you need our Rocket.

Want your bigger wheels in a lighter, sharper, more trail focused package? You need to get on our FlareMAX.

Like 29er or 275 Plus wheels but looking for a hardtail? Our Solaris is perfect for you.

All our bikes are hand assembled to order here in Sheffield by Paul, Cy, Richard or Will. If there's anything on the spec you're not sure about, or don't need, give us a ring to discuss. We'd much rather leave something off you don't need and charge you a bit less than waste a perfectly good part you'll not use when we can put it on someone elses bike. Better for you, better for us, less waste, so better for everyone.

When ordering, you can choose key components to help you get the fit you want on your bike (contact us if you need help), but you can also go custom if you want to personalise your build still further. Many of our builds can be customised extensively, with headset, brake, wheel and fork travel options available.

The chart is a guide to frame size. OFI Geometry means that the frames are low and long, with plenty of standover room. You can take this two ways: You can either have a regular position coupled with a small and chuckable frame, or you could go for the next size up and go long and racey with a short stem without feeling like you're riding a gate. Make sure you consider your leg length as well. If you upsize you might not be able to fit a dropper post with 150mm drop due to the collar hitting the seat tube top. You lot are just too different to say for sure, so drop us a line at size@cotic.co.uk and we'll be happy to discuss set up based on what you're riding at the moment.
